The CAO Gold Maduro alternate is a surprisingly decent stick for $1.50. Do not try the Monte #2 or the 858 alternates.

I've had the Monte #2 alts and while they were smokeable they weren't particularly good. But what can you expect for $2.00? You get a $2 cigar. I'll take them fishing and smoke them for something to do, to give away, or trash, and I don't mind.

The edicion limitada's are decent. Most of the time they turn too crap alittle past halfway. The Rocky Patel Edge Maduros are fairly close. Besides that......Not good.
